Mail account outgoing

I have 2 accounts in mail. When I send emails it goes to the account that I don't want to send from. How can I set the program to go to the one I want. I have gone into Mail Pref. and set the outgoing to the one I want to use, in both accounts, but when I send it goes to the account I don"t want to use. A box comes up and says the mail can't be sent and when I change the outgoing from the list to the one I want to use, the mail go"s with no problem. Any suggestions? Thanks Barry

I guess its not fixed. I did as suggested but still going to drop down where I have to pick a outgoing address. Is there a place where I can remove the other addresses from the drop down box? I hope this post can be reopened.

  • Problem with yahoo! SMTP POP server mail account on new upgraded iphone 4.3.5

    PLEASE HELP!
    I am a California AT&T wireless customer with a new iphone 4 on the iOS 4.3.5 upgraded system and suddenly I am unable to successfully add my Yahoo! email account and have it configured to send/receive my emails.  I was able to successfully add my gmail and Microsoft exchange server account, but only problems with the Yahoo!  I checked all the settings, have done several add/delete accounts, restore network settings, and retry/reboots, to no avail.  This is a seriously annoying problem, it worked with the pre-upgraded older version fine without any problems ever.  I continually get the same error message:  SERVER UNAVAILABLE, please try again later.
    I know this error is inaccurate because all my other email accounts work fine as well as Safari and all other internet connections and apps.  It is not a phone thing, it is some yahoo and upgraded software incompatibility issue that no one seems to have resolved yet.
    This is a SMTP PUSH POP account, and I have literally tried everything.  I have tried all the fixes while connected to wifi, and then tried them just via my 3G cell network connection.  I read on a message board about turning on/off SSL, could someone tell me how to do that?  When I go into to:
    settings>mail accounts>outgoing mail server SMTP>Yahoo! SMTP, everything is grayed out and I can't change any ports or SSL.
    When I try to manually add a server, which I was told was a fix, I don't know what to type into the host name.  Does anyone know how to help?
    I have seen this problems on numerous message boards, even in the UK.  I contacted Apple Support, with no success in resolving this problem, had an open case for several days contacted several supervisor personnel, all advised me to contact Yahoo! who do not offer customer care via telephone only online, and nothing there helped to resolve my issue.
    PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
    THANKS

    Yahoo's servers have been having problems off and on now for close to a month if not longer. There's not much you can do about it except talk to Yahoo, which is kind of like beating your head against a wall.  They've had problems like this off and on since as far back as the mid 90's. I gave up on them long ago. Just convert to something else and dump them. It's not worth the headache.

  • I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone.  My iPhone continues to send messages from either account that I choose.  My MacBook says that one of my email account outgoing mail servers is Offline?  How can I get that working again?

    I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone that I have been using for a few years.  My phone works perfectly for both accounts.  Now one of my email accounts on the MacBook says the outgoing server is Offline?  How can I fix that so that both accounts send and receive email.  I have tried various things in settings but nothing seems to work.

  • Problem with some outgoing mail accounts

    I have several pop accounts in Mail. On my home iMac, they use my ISP for outgoing. For example, one account is arizona.edu for incoming; it uses smtp.comcast.net for outgoing. This has worked perfectly for years. Suddenly last week, the outgoing mail stopped working.
    The dialog box says the server has rejected the sender address. The only way I can send the message is to edit it, changing the "from" address to my mac.com address.
    There's nothing new on my system. No software changes. When this happened, I tried re-entering my account info in Preferences, but no joy. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for chipping in.
    This is what I do.
    1.Enable IMAP in Gamil settings
    2. In iphone setup the mail by using Gmail option.
    3. I enter the user name, pswd et
    4. I save and it verifies the account
    Now if I go to home screen and checks the mail account details again, the pswd field is blank again.
    I have set up my yahoo account and it works perfectly well.
    Hope the above info helps foryou to understand the issue and help me out.
    Thanks,
    Alex

  • Specify e-mail account for outgoing Calendar invites?

    I created a Calendar event on my iPhone, invited a friend, and see that the invite went out on my Exchange e-mail account. I would prefer to use a different e-mail account for outgoing invites. Where do I do that?
    Thanks

    I've never used my Gmail calendar, and syncing was not turned on. I've just done that, and selected my Gmail address as the "Settings - mail - default account" address. Hopefully that will do the trick!
    Thanks, --Chris

  • How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port?

    How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port? on Maverick O/Sx. Cannot see option to use 2 different ports?

    In Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Account Information tab - from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):' drop-down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server List...', choose the server you want to edit from those listed, click on the Advanced tab. Does that give you the option you're after?

  • Default Outgoing Mail Account

    I can't figure out how to control the default outgoing mail account. I have 3 accounts, and the mail program doesn't always select the first mailbox listed, which Help tells me it should do.
    How do I control this?

    There is no default email account selection in Jaguar or Panther Mail when selecting New to compose a new message. This was added with Tiger Mail.
    When you compose a new message, the From address is selected in the following order:
    If a message is currently selected, Mail uses the account the message belongs to, if it can be determined from the headers of the message, or by the account mailbox the message resides in.
    If an account mailbox is currently selected (an account's Inbox or Sent mailbox in the mailboxes drawer), Mail uses the account the mailbox belongs to.
    If no message or account mailbox is selected, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
    When you reply to a message, the From address is selected in the following order:
    The To and Cc fields are compared to email addresses you have set up in Mail Preferences. Mail uses the first address it finds as the reply address.
    If the message is in an account mailbox, Mail uses the email address for the account the mailbox belongs to.
    If all else fails, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.

  • Change default outgoing mail account according to recepient

    Is is possible to have the default mail account (I have three: University, personal, and @me.com) change automatically according to the primary email in the "To:" field?

    Well, no.  But it will change automatically according to any email you're replying to, based on what mailbox the original was sent from.
    Mail->Preferences->Composing->Send new messages from "Account of selected mailbox."

  • Old outgoing mail account still visible?

    I moved my email account from hotmail (using pop/smtp), to google apps (setup using Exchange Active Sync). On the iphone, I deleted the old mail account, and reset it up using the exchange option.
    When I compose a mail message, this email account shows up twice. No matter which entry I pick, the iphone is using the old hotmail smtp instead of the new google apps setting.
    In the list of email accounts, i only have the google sync account.
    How can I delete/remove this old account so I can send mail???

    Quit and relaunch Mail.

  • IPhone wont send email from a certain mail account

    I know the settings are right, but the iPhone wont send mail from one of my mail accounts (hosted by the company i work for, which offers mail hosting as a service, and has hundreds of other iPhone users with the same account settings.)
    The progress bar that indicates "sending" zips by suspiciously quickly when I hit Send, but there is no audio confirmation. Then the email is gone - its not in my Sent Items folder, and its not in the Drafts folder and its not in my broom closet.
    From what I understand, if one SMTP server isn't available, it should default to the AT&T SMTP server, but it apparently doesn't even get that far, because the phone must think it's sent the message, or it would end up in the Drafts folder (or Outbox, I can't recall), which is what I would normally experience if I had no service at the time I was sending the message. I have two other accounts that work normally on the iPhone. Nothing has been recently changed with the SMTP server in question, which works fine with all my other devices.
    I've tried:
    • deleting the account and re-adding it manually (four times)
    • deleting the account and syncing it with my computer (three times)
    • hard resetting the iPhone
    • ensuring that the primary SMTP server for this account is, in fact, switched to "On" in Settings->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, <mail account>-->SMTP (which brings me to another question: how do I edit this list? Is it automatically populated by the accounts in my Mail app?
    • screaming from my back porch
    Ideas?
    Email Account type: IMAP
    Authentication type: MD5 with SSL
    Port: 587
    8GB 3G iPhone, Software version 2.2.1

    One thing that might help.
    If your primary server is hosted by your company, double check the outgoing settings.
    Host Name:
    Use SSL:
    Authentication:
    Server Port:
    If it zips through your primary server without effect, try turning the primary server off and one of the secondary on.
    If connected to Edge or 3G, you can use ATT's SMTP server.
    If issue still persists, then set up a gmail or yahoo account to test with.
    Both are free email services.
    If still fails, then general troubleshooting might help.
    Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

    You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot send mail from any mail account

    I have a Mac Mini, late 2014 model, running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2.   I have constant difficulty sending mail from any of my mail accounts; these are iCloud, Googlemail, Yahoo and a personal one which uses 123-reg.co.uk.  I am currently located in Greece, but have been having trouble for ages, even in the UK.  I can receive mail, but I don't seem able to send it.  Error message is usually simply cannot send mail using this server, select a different server.  However, when connection doctor is run, all servers appear to be connected and I am logged in.  Any ideas please?

  • Cannot send emails from mail account.

    Hello everyone,
    I've had this problem a while, that basically when i send an email from my account it says
    Cannot send message using the server xxxxxxxx
    when i try other servers it still doesn't work and i get the same error message. I have other computers on which mail works from the same server, same port same password etc. so why doesn't this work.
    If you can help me i will be eternally greatful as i won't have to keep jumping on someone elses computer to reply to mail.
    Thank you in advance
    Fred

    Hello Fred.
    If you’re sure your settings are exactly the same as on the computers where it works, here a couple of things that you may want to look at.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
    Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.

  • How do I add Outlook Web Access to mail accounts on my iPod?

  • I hace a comcast e-mail account and when I click a "contact us" link on a web site a pop-up asks me to choose an application but when I choose firefox nothing happens How can I make the links open my Comast e-mail?

    "Contact us" links on web sites open a box that says "This link needs to be opened with an application. Send to:" My only e-mail account is through my Comcast.net account but Comcast is not an option. When I choose Firefox, which is an option, a new blank window opens but I have no idea how to generate an outgoing e-mail message. This is very frustrating because I cannot seem to find any help with this issue and i seem to be precluded from e-mailing numerous organizations because of this. I do not want to create a new gmail or other type of e-mail account if I can help it. I already have enough accounts and passwords to try and keep a handle on.

    Comcast online email is considered '''web mail''' so you need to scroll down that support page to the web mail section.

  • How to set up two POP e-mail accounts using the same POP and SMTP servers

    I have an e-mail address based on a domain I purchased which is based on my company name. Now retired, I have purchased a new domain with a simpler, personalised name. My original e-mail account uses the incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail servers operated by my ISP; mail.btinternet.com.
    I have set up a new account on my PC in Microsoft Outlook, and have successfully sent and received emails using the new e-mail address taken from my new domain name.
    I have now tried to mirror this on my iPhone, but every time I enter all the relevant data for the new e-mail address, user name, password, mail servers etc., and then press 'save', I get a pop-up which says: "xxxx" is Already Added  This POP account has already been added to your iPhone. ("xxxx" is the name given to my original e-mail account).  Nowhere have I input "xxxx" in the course of setting up the new account.
    I need both accounts operational during an extended switch-over period as I alert everyone to the e-mail change over. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

    What targeting the Mail.app preference file, do the following:
    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
    Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
    The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account which will be recreated automatically and/or if you created an email account as part of the computer setup assistant when first turning on the computer when new.
    Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
    Test if this resolves the problem.
